AFL Fixture 2025

I'd love GWS up there in opening round.

We exclusively play bangers against them. They've won 3 of the past 4. I'd say that record to about to start turning in our favour.

Not to mention they may be missing a few...

I don't believe we have ever won at giants stadium (may have beaten Carlton during covid, but that doesn't count)

And that was in Perth, not in Sydney lol

We are definitely winless at GWS stadium (0-8)

The zone noone wanted - the saints were offered it, and then Richmond, then Melbourne... then us

Dermott sends his thanks.

Was that actually the case though? Many years ago I knew someone who was fairly high up in the Saints, and he was bitter about the "machiavellian games that Hawthorn played" to get the MP zone back in the 1970s.

I'm not doubting what you have said, it's just that I've been walking around for 40+ years with this guy's words ringing in my ears.

SO there's two stories (at least), and I'm wondering which one is accurate!

I remember it vividly as – being a gormless teenager – I had no idea who or what "machiavellian" meant, and a trip to the library the next day opened my eyes.
